Doyle Bramhall II - Cry

[drowninginpurple]

the bomb of modern blues singers

[PrinceAHbooboo]

I love the picture of Doyle Sr. on drums and Jr. on guitar back in the day!! Music will never be the same or even close to what it once was.

[JosephHuntington]

This great man is so far beyond the average coolness of the most respected guitarists, I marvel that every living human being doesn't ask him to start a religion, so we could attend 7 days a week and give all we have to his benefit.

[BLUESBOOGIE69]

Great Tune -  Quality Sound - Thanks for Sharing!

[wikkid61]

The reason this man is not on a 'big label'? He does not want to sell his soul, nor lay upon the casting couch. Word.

[marochik88]

i love you doyle

[Thedeltamissy]

This IS river of tears, same notes, same sound

[bittercottoncandy]

It sounds a bit like "River of Tears", by Clapton, doesn't it?

[jammyjoyful]

The saddest thing to me is, he is so unrecognized (commerically) for the awesome blues guitarist that he is. It is sad for me to see him only as a sideman-backup guitarist for Roger Waters (?), backup for clapton, backup for Sheryl Crow. He MORE THAN deserves being a headlining solo act himself : (

[Bonaholic1]

Love it.

[fistchips]

Beautiful song!!

[jammyjoyful]

White Hendrix..... DB II, please put out another album soon.

[MultiBagginz]

whos song?

[jammyjoyful]

@MultiBagginz This awesome song is Doyle Bramhall II's song "Cry" off his album entitled "Welcome"

[mauricio20236]

El es lo mas lindo.. Sin duda alguna....



[danielstuartblues]

bramhall ii is completely stunning... and in the last decade he has written the most underrated songs ever, Cry, Marry You, I Wanna Be, Green Light Girl, smokestack, send some love, diamonds made from rain, problem child, mabye this time..... and yet most people will turn and not have a clue who he is...

[danbau08]

Damn this guy is good. soul soul soul

[mikema2008]

does anyone know what effects he's using on the solo?



[AnnaK40]

luv that photo at 7:19-21....w Les Paul guitar!

[annadefra]

yes!!!!!!!!!!

[ou812faQ]

This fella, actually plays upside down, and right side up. He knows the strings any which way they need done. Jimmy played guitars upside down, with strings right side up........It's something when the older greats use him for back up, to play their old original leads.

[klank67]

@ou812faQ ... you have no idea what you're talking about.

[rutanmedic2000]

Doyle i have loved your music for a long time!it was my dear friend Jr. Medlow who i first heard of you father . I used to play with him in Lubbock and i also played with Micheal L.Williams also. This song reaches into the depths of soul and I dont know what it means to you but I thank you for the words and the melody....I know what it means to me! love you my brother from another mother!

[charrmmee]

luv this mega talent. thnx 4 post

[ravenkiller1]

such a talented man!

[attributionerr]

The guitar solo at the end sends chill down my spine, awesome.

[iwillrocknroll4eva]

OMG! I just got turned onto this guy and I am absolutely blown away! Ooooo what a guitar player! Ooooo what a hottie! Oooooooooooooooooooooooo awesome...can't get enough.

[attributionerr]

@iwillrocknroll4eva Check out the "Arc Angels" from the early nineties too, that whole album features Doyle.

[iwillrocknroll4eva]

@attributionerr Hahaha...already have, but thanks!

[SuperBert1970]

frigging great talent

[redwhitch17]

WOW..Im totally blown away..Stunning..

[jlhilbert1]

I would encourage any of you that love Doyle's music to check out the Arc Angels...The band is or was made up of Doyle, Charlie Sexton, Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon. You may recognize the names, but if not....Charlie has backed up the likes of Bob Dylan. Chris and Tommy were the backbone of Stevie Ray Vaughan's band...they were Double Trouble.....Also, check out Charlie Sexton's album...Under the Wishing Tree...these guys are awesome...and all of them are Texas boys...Yeeee Hahhh...Doyle rocks

[attributionerr]

great song

[irishbear76]

Doyle Bramhall II was a huge influence on me coming up as a guitar player.

[rockwolf3]

This Song Fuckin Kicks Ass..pardon The Grammer..Good Up-Load..Thnx Dude!!

[AnnaK40]

Seek and ye shall find a true real gem!!! Just amazing! Doyle is amazing!!!

[BluesMastery]

@toolchick71 Your spot on, he is stunning. I just discovered is it news and am really digging the whole album at the moment. Made a dreary trip on the London Tube Station rockin

[AnnaK40]

I'm crying!!!!! What a beautiful voice!!! Great guitarist!!

[BluesMastery]

fuck!n inspired

don't suppose listening it to a 2nd time will hurt ;)

[toolchick71]

@BluesMastery I listen to this every day pretty much. IMO, he is already a legend. Love this man.

[hongkong506]

Check him out on ' Roger Waters' a class musician and vocalist.

[braddyboy82]

This song rocks!!!!!!!!!! Wow! I am listening to it for the first time right now. Looks like I need to hop on board the Doyle fan train pretty quick.

[ujamin2]

Music is the Sanctuary Of Our Souls!

[Mackers2317]

Doyle is sooo sweet on Derek Trucks' Already Free album

[jhee76]

@Mackers2317 I had no idea he was on that album! What tunes? I had no idea abou this guy until last weekend at Crossroads. Man... Im in love.

[specialagentslowhand]

awesome stuff. 7:23 blew my mind

[opodj]

when im this sad I can lean on this music

[CASIOPEA1121]

Y MAS VIDEOS !!!!

[CASIOPEA1121]

QUIERO LAS FOTOS PLEASE !!!

[itsmekee]

Beautiful....

[Boozie65]

THE BEST!!!  Hendrix of our time....

[tataso]

@Boozie65 O_O sos un exagerado amigo

[Haace69]

@Boozie65 If any one has " Thin Dream" ready to post or in the works It would be greatly appreciated!!!

[Haace69]

@Boozie65 

[Rabelo888]

This guy is just great. I saw the documentary "Before the Music Dies" and realised that good music has been losing ground to "disposable" ones. Good music like "River of Tears" stays for good. Disposable music is

ephemeral.

[strother1969]

hmmmmmmm, lets see.......... did Roger Waters invite to play with him?????

[jplong114]

I saw Doyle open for Kenny Wayne Sheppard 11 or 12 years ago. KWS should have been the opening act because Doyle was about ten times better than him. I was very happy to see him playing with Clapton.

[mellamowilliam]

wow

[imaginarythings]

Wow..He's a Real Talent...This is a great song and video-audio and visual fantastic~5*****'s

[rosesredvioletsblue]

Excellent.

[kzearo]

Isn't this just Clapton's River of Tears with different lyrics?

[anthonythirteen]

Not quite - some similarities in the basic chord progression, but a very different 'feel'. It would be interesting to know which song was written first: I wonder whether EC has been influenced by DBII as much as vice versa?!

[gruvtrky72]

The man is by far one of the most talented musicians out there. Him and Derek Trucks cannot be touched... Two truly gifted spirits...On top of that he is from TX.... HELL YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jwyatt4]

I absolutely LOVE this guy!

[opodj]

thanx again DB

[gladys1966]

[rockwolf3]

This song is FREAKIN awesome!!..so much in depth...You have Much talent Doyle!!

[Gigi69SentByAngels]

Perfect! :)

[AtlasShrugging]

mmm .. just what I needed. Thank you for posting, nice job with the pics/compilation.

[jlbblues012]

that's what commercial music will do for ya....unfortunately.....I've seen Bramhall playing with Clapton and they both were in the spotlight

[rockwolf3]

This song is tottally awsome..what would be cooler would be to see Doyle play it

[kazper2275]

im with ya on that one, but what i dont understand is how doyle has yet to really break out into mainstream. I mean like compare his music to say john mayers and i would say his style is way more advanced then mayers and yet he is still in the shadows??

[iidles]

If Doyle was to play these types of songs and put them all in one album, then he would be probably. Jellycream has some songs like these, but not all of them hit the mainstream like this would.

He is amazing, though.

[jwyatt4]

Because he didn't start out singing poppy songs about running through the halls of his high school. It's really a shame...he's truly a great player and songwriter.

[krazyboys]

Because Mayer took the girly popish route in order to gain enough popularity to be recognized when he decided it was his time to transition into the more bluesy electric style

[levimilk]

I wouldnt say Mayer did girly pop, its genral pop, his first album anyway.

[jplong114]

Bramhall had a big record deal but didn't want to play by the rules of record company. All this is explained in Documentary "Before the Music Dies." But basically he chose to stay in the shadows so he could play the music that he loves. Check out the documentary though, great flick for anyone that wonders about today's pop music or the talent of today's pop artists.

[Senaatintori]

Great song, great pictures, great vid !!! And not to forget, Doyle is a real cutie !!!

[kazper2275]

this dude is with out a doubt a hidden gem in the guitar world the most talent ive seen in a 6 stringer in a long time and 2 boot he plays the guitar upsidedown and the strings backwords how meny other guitar players out there can say they play like that and still sound good?

[rockwolf3]

Exactly!!!..who cares how they do it..sounds good and that's what matters..

[Cainer666]

"Welcome" is one of those 'desert island' albums. Not a bad note on the entire thing.

[bech2002]

welcome is the best album i've heard since years

[klank67]

@bech2002 ... couldn't agree with you more, every tune is outstanding!

[LeifJohan]

Beautiful tribute to the best artist in the world :)

[ChristopherX20]

Probably my favourite song off the welcome album,love the solo near the end.Lots of great pictures too,many i have not seen before.

[etabone1]
